Amen! Musket. My sentiments exactly.

One only has to visit Opukushi (for one example) and see the abject poverty and complete lack of any expenditure of money by the village chiefs, tribal leaders, oil company, or the government of any kind.....while literally Millions upon Millions of dollars worth of oil have been pumped out of the wells surrounding the village.

One will be told the money was spent but the evidence proves it never got to the common folk.

I am solidly in support of the need to better provide for the people of the delta....perhaps the likes of MEND and others of their persuasion are the only way that will happen.
